We understand that the kitchen floor is one of the most hard-working surfaces in your home. Some key factors when selecting flooring for your kitchen include; quality, durability, maintenance, cost, and style.

When it comes to quality and durability, it’s important you choose flooring which can handle plenty of foot traffic, as well as stains and spills which come from daily use of the kitchen. Another important factor is the constant change in temperature in the kitchen. It’s important to choose a floor which can cope with those changes. Moreover, consider the ease of maintenance and how easy to clean your flooring material is.

Laminate is also very easy to install, making it ideal for DIY projects. Laminate comes in an extensive colour range, from glossy to matte finishes. Laminate floors provide detailed surface textures that are balanced against practicality for a stylish décor option.

Timber Flooring

Timber flooring is a beautiful, natural material which creates a high-end aesthetic. Timber is a timeless choice for kitchen flooring and if properly cared for, is extremely durable. However, being a natural product, it can be more susceptible to everyday wear and tear and therefore requires more care. For example, take extra care to avoid any spills, as unlike other products timber floors are not waterproof. To help prolong your timber floors, a robot vacuum/ mop can be your best friend – it takes care of your floors without lifting a finger (except for maybe the vacuum remote).
